Your warmth drew me,
Like a fire in the snow,
Nurturing, life-giving,
Cure for my frostbitten soul.
I wish I had known it was only body heat.
~
When the snow melted,
I melted too,
And I wanted,
Oh I wanted more, needed you
Like an empty cup needs to be filled.
~
But you had nothing to give,
Only a facade,
A ruined house beneath pretty eaves,
A broken balustrade,
Unsupported, I fell to my knees.
~
It took so long to leave you,
The faint glimmer of a soul would convince me to stay
A little longer, hoping it was true,
A little longer in my heart's decay,
A little longer until I was almost through.

An unfortunately relatable feeling. I love this verse.
